SSH -X “Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated”

Hey I’m having an issue getting ssh X forwarding to work. The setup is I’m sshing into my ubuntu VM off OSX Yosemite host machine.

I already installed xQuartz on OSX, xauth on ubuntu, and I believe I’ve have all the correct options set in ssh_config files.

I get the

Warning: untrusted X11 forwarding setup failed: xauth key data not generated
X11 forwarding request failed on channel 0

message when opening a connection with ssh -X, and when I tried to run an X application:

xterm: Xt error: Can't open display:
xterm: DISPLAY is not set

I have the identical setup on my other machine except running Mavericks and it works fine, is there something specific to Yosemite specific I have to worry about?
